I recently found a REARWIN SPORTSTER, and I have to admit that when I came back to my place to know more about this particular aircraft,
I just found the wikipedia page and a nicely done website made by a proud owner. Rearwin Sportster
But I do like to know more on this aircraft, famous pilots, or any interesting facts.
And if anyone can share any manual on this aircraft it could be interesting.
Don't know too much about them myself, though four Rearwin 9000 Sportsters were impressed into the RNZAF in 1939 - two Ls (NZ565 and 599), and two KRs (NZ568 and 569).
To be fair though, info is hard to come by on most of the civilian types impressed into RNZAF service. Photos especially are often VERY rare or non existant sadly, making it very hard to model them!
Yea I'll see that.
But most of the time when you ask to museums they are saying " yes..we'll see that one day" = never to sum up.
This is really rare that some decide to share by Email.
I saw that some of them where made as sail planes, this was directly from factory ?
